Two that immediately come to mind are:

 - If you don't need anything dynamic, you can run VXLAN on any Linux box. So just a random server would work.

IS-IS support in Quagga and FRR is still spotty.

I will be testing FRR 8.1 (on FreeBSD) soon to see if previous issues have since been resolved.


 - RouterOS v7 added VXLAN, so now you can do that in a MikroTik box, or in a Cloud-Hosted Router (their VM).

Hard to beat the price point on either.

AFAIK, Mikrotik do not support IS-IS.
